Manti Te’o has spoken! On Thursday afternoon, his highly-publicized, on-camera interview with Katie Couric aired for the first time on Couric’s daytime TV talk show Katie—just one week after Deadspin published a report indicating that Te’o’s “girlfriend” Lennay Kekua was a hoax perpetrated by a man named Ronaiah Tuiasosopo. And, during the sit-down, Te’o spoke about a number of different things. He reiterated the fact that he was not in on the hoax, told Couric that he is not gay (after she asked), and talked about how hard it was for him to tell his parents about Kekua when she popped up last month after reportedly “dying” back in September.
